This week, ventureLAB welcomed a delegation of Serbian entrepreneurs and officials from the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Serbia, the Embassy of the Republic of Serbia, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Serbia.

Our staff, founders, and partners joined the delegation to learn more about Serbia’s cutting-edge advancements and spark new connections for international collaboration. Building on the existing success of Serbia’s impressive science parks, we look forward to creating even more opportunities for cross-border business growth.

A sincere thank you to our guests for their time, and to all the founders and partners who attended. We are confident that highly productive partnerships will grow out of this exchange!
